Photoshop CS doesn't create thumbnail previews (Windows)

Issue

Adobe Photoshop doesn't create thumbnail previews for images on the desktop or in Windows Explorer.

Solution: View imagesinthe File Browser in Photoshop.

Choose File > Browse to open the Photoshop File Browser and view and open images.

Background information

Previous versions of Photoshop produced thumbnail previews for images by using the psicon.dll file. This file isn't installed with Photoshop CS.

In Windows Explorer, if you choose View > Thumbnails, Windows Explorer displays thumbnail previews for some image formats, such as JPEG files; however, it cannot display thumbnail previews for native Photoshop (PSD) files.
